Dry stone

The ‘dry stone’ technique has been put into practise with much inventiveness : walling for fences, terraced for earth retention, shelters for crops and herds… From Portugal to Japan, from the Lake District to Provence, the book explores many international sites and raises historical, ethnological and ecological questions. Aimed at both the general public interested in this technique as well as a trade market (architects, landscape gardeners…), it also includes a detailed technical part, illustrating the construction of a wall under expert guidance.
